In discussing Trespassing,
Lambert told NPR that the track Outlaws of Love is about the
discrimination faced by gay people.

“Yeah,” Lambert
told Guy Raz. “And when I wrote that song … there had been a
lot going on with, you know, the gay marriage, kind of going back and
forth in California,” he said, referring to the legal challenge to
Proposition 8, the state's gay marriage ban. “And it just made me
sad. And so I wanted to write something about that sadness, about
that feeling where sometimes it's like a hopelessness that kind of
comes over you when you look at the situation. How you're probably
not going to change these people's minds because they're set.”
